With proper maintenance, your Honeywell air cleaner is designed to provide years
of high efficiency air cleaning. Your Honeywell air cleaner contains two filters: one
activated carbon pre-filter and one primary HEPA filter.
The activated carbon pre-filter is the element of your air cleaner that helps reduce
normal household odors, captures lint and other large particles and helps protect
the HEPA filter. It should be replaced at least every 3 months. If there are heavy
concentrations of odors, smoke, or large particles in the home, you may need to
change the activated carbon pre-filter more often.
We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon pre-
filter or without following the filter replacement guidelines. The HEPA filter may
become contaminated and begin to emit any odors captured.
The primary HEPA filter should remain effective for 1 to 3 years, depending upon the
environment in which the air cleaner is operating. Honeywell recommends changing
the HEPA filter based upon operating conditions - every 3 years for light usage, 2
years for normal usage and 1 year for heavy usage. The 53000 Model Air Cleaner
features a Change HEPA Filter monitor light which will glow when the HEPA filter
needs replacement.
If your air cleaner contains Filter Change Calendar wheels, please refer to the “Filter
Change Calendar” section for date wheel use instructions.
Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as guide-
lines only. Life expectancy of any filter media is dependent on the concentration of
the contaminants to which the system is exposed. If there are sources of large
amounts of contaminant generation (such as woodworking or heavy smoking) the
useful life of the filter media in your air cleaner may be reduced.
Whenever the air resistance of the HEPA filter becomes excessive due to the amount
of contaminants it has captured, the air volume output will begin to reduce and the
sound level of the air cleaner will increase somewhat. A completely blocked filter will
cause a loud rumbling sound and almost no airflow.
